prpldude 0 #1 Posted August 6, 2008 My fuel pump started leaking so I took it off to see if I could rebuild it. When I looked at the K341 engine Service manual on page 6.2 it shows a different looking fuel pump than was on my 79 C-161 with a Kohler K341AS. Here is what mine looks like: Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prpldude 0 #3 Posted August 6, 2008 How do I know which fuel pump I have and how to get parts... also the rubber diaphram(pictured below) near the top of the pump had two diaphrams.. one right on top of the other... Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Marc Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #4 Posted August 7, 2008 Not sure what pump you have, but I've found alot of them the kits are no longer avalible, so you may need to buy a pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prpldude 0 #5 Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks for your reply, Where is a good place to buy one from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted August 7, 2008 Most lawn and garden shops that sell Kohler should be able to set you up, try a local toro dealer, Napa auto parts or another good auto parts store should be able to help. Ebay if your not in a hurry, but know what you are getting from there. new about $50 around here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #17 Posted August 7, 2008 The illustration you have shown is exactly like the fuel pump on my 1054A. It has a K241 engine. Did you misstype the number when looking up the pump for your engine? There is not much difference in k-241 & k-341 I got my pump at C&C of South Bend for about what you mentioned.

prpldude 0 #19 Posted August 7, 2008 I wonder if they just put a pic of a generic pump cuz they all basically do the same thing? Or maybe mine is an aftermarket pump? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next job is to buy a new fuel cap.. the one that is on it won't go on straight... or something seems wrong anyway... and when I take it up a bumpy hill I notice it leaks out of the cap... I'll work on that this afternoon.. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
